I have not gotten my period even after taking Meprate, and it is now 15 days late. My pregnancy test is negative. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Meprate usually induces periods within 5to10 days after stopping. Delay may be due to hormonal imbalance or stress. Repeat a Beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy status. Do hormone profile including TSH, Prolactin, and FSH. Get a Pelvic Ultrasound to rule out PCOS or other causes.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

My age is 41. I am suffering from irregular periods and I am being treated by a gynecologist. This month I missed my period. Pregnancy test is negative. USG report and Pap smear test are also negative. I have no other problem in my body. What is the reason for my missed period? Please help me. Thanks.

Hi, I usually have irregular periods, sometimes as infrequent as once in 15 days. I consulted a doctor, who examined my reports and mentioned an initial stage of PCOD, prescribing medication for 2 months. After taking the medicines, my periods were normal. My first period after marriage was normal, but now the same problem has returned. I have taken a pregnancy test, and it is negative.

My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?
